Movie sound check

Here's a note from Gazette feature writer Deb Acord:

Warren:
We went to Tinseltown Saturday afternoon to see "Man of The Year," the Robin Williams movie. The movie was pleasantly entertaining, but there was something wrong with the sound system - it echoed and it wasn't loud enough during scenes with lots of dialogue (and there were lots of those scenes).
An older woman, in the theater by herself, took on the task of fixing it, leaving her seat several times to talk with someone out front. Each time she returned, the sound was better - crisper, louder - but it never reached the quality that Tinseltown used to deliver. And in a movie filled with fast-talkers - Williams, Lewis Black, Laura Linney - you've got to be able to hear the dialogue.
This is the second time sound has ruined a movie experience at Tinseltown. At a showing of "V For Vendetta," the sound somehow echoed - it was only clear if you covered up one ear. Now that's how I like my movies! What's up with the quality control at a theater of this size? Isn't there anyone in charge of problems?
